A circle has a central angle measuring 90° that intersects an arc of length 117.75 inches.Using 3.14 for pi, what is the length of the radius of the circle?

Verified Answer :

I hope this helps you




Arc Length=Center Angle/360.2.pi.r



117,75=90/360.2.3,14.r



r=117,75/1,57


r=75

Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve. The length of the radius of the circle is 75 inches.

Given information-

The measure of the center angle of the circle is 90 degrees.

The length of the arc is 117.75 inches.

The value of pi is 3.14 units.

Arc length-

Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve.

Arc angle \(s\) of a circle can be given as,

\(s=\dfrac{\theta\times\pi\times r}{180}\)

Here \(r\) is the radius of the circle,

Put the values,

\(117.5=\dfrac{3.14\times90\times r}{180}\)

Solve for \(r\),

\(r=\dfrac{117.75\times 180}{3.14\times90} \\ r=75\)

Hence the length of the radius of the circle is 75 inches.
